[patch 1/3] [PATCH] mm: migration -- Do not loose soft dirty bit if page is in migration state

[Cyrill Gorcunov]

If page migration is turne on in the config and the page is migrating,
we may loose soft dirty bit. If fork and mprotect if called on migrating
pages (once migration is complete) pages do not obtain soft dirty bit
in correspond pte entries. Fix it adding appropriate test on swap
entries.
